To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I Gnomi: limnieos', citixen of the United tetee, residing ut New Urleima, in the parioh'of Orleans and Stute I of Louisiane, lieve invented new and useful Improvements in Sliding Door, ol' which the following is a epecitication. 4 2

M invention has to do with sliding doorsl .for x cern, and the object of the invention Al is to provide in combination with n box cnr und a sliding door, simple and inexpensive means for rendering tho door storm-proof when Ithe en me ia closed, and this without interfering with free sliding of the door to undv from ite cloaed position.

With the fo i in mind, the Iinvention w ll fully un from the following d ption end claim when the s ame are reed in connection with the drawing aemganying and forming part ot this speci.

on,in which. intro l il n lido elevation showin ii portion of the body of a box oer and e s iding door oonetructed in eooordenoe with my invention; the door being in ita o n poention. Fig. 2 ie an enlar vertice section,

taken in the inne in cated by the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 ooking in the direction indicated by n w. l'ig. 8- is an enlarged line of Fig. l, looliing downwardly.

Similar lettera designate torresponding in all of the views ot the drawings, re-

'lhe inner flan bars l ii're arranged flush with e inneriiido of the door E, and lieni'o it will be miinifest that the nid barn will nerve the function eueribed to them without interfering in any measure with the slidin of the door. i

ln'uddition to the chie advantage usciibed to the upright Z-bers it will be observed that they lend increa strength to the door und serve when the door ia made of wood to lool-uan weur iind irolong the usefulness there of, und this wit iout adding greatly to the vost of the door.
